With a history stretching back to 1250, Landfort House is set in a 120-acre nature preserve managed by a national trust, the Geldersch Landshcap and Kasteelen Foundation. Since 1434, a long line of Dutch aristocratic families and national public figures have owned and maintained the estate, which is marked by a symmetrical façade centering on a colonnaded entry portico and punctuated by pointed-arch, shutter-accented windows.

Inside the high-ceilinged conservatory sitting room.

A long gravel drive sweeps up to the handsome neoclassical manor through gardens designed by landscape architect Jan David Zocher in 1823. Inside, floors of black-and-white marble and chevron wood meet elaborate mantelpieces to distinguish the high-ceilinged spaces.
